The eruption that commenced southwest of the Kīlauea summit on 3 June, has been paused for 48 hours and is unlikely to reactivate.
Therefore, the USGS HVO lowered the alert level for the volcano to Yellow.
The activity at the fissure vents ceased around 9:00 local time on 3 June, with lava flows becoming stagnant by noon the same day. Over the past 48 hours, there has been a significant decrease in the volcanic tremor, degassing, and incandescence related to the fissure vents, indicating a low probability of the eruption restarting.
The seismic activity and ground deformation in the summit region, including the eruption area, continue at low levels.
